Written in tercets.
Following
Uncommon form,
I was taking a risk
Possibly ruining
My reputation.
But
Did my form
Fracture function?
Was my personification
Perplexing
Pretentious?
Maybe my metaphors
Were misplaced
Misunderstood?
What was it
That made it unlikable
Unsavory?
Why
Didn’t it get clicks
And likes?
Unlike
My simpler style
That forms a following.
Was it the words?
The themes?
The style?
No.
It had to be
The title.

I really hate talking about myself, but if I have to...
I’m K.L. McDaniel, the person behind TheOtherKLM. I’m an introvert with extrovert moments, a fitness-minded person fighting later-age fat, and someone trying to keep life somewhat organized without pretending it isn’t a mess.
Here, I write about the things I keep coming back to: movement, mental health, learning, self-awareness, and the strange little contradictions that make people interesting. I’m not here to act like I have everything figured out. I’m here to think through it, laugh when possible, and maybe find a little balance in the middle of the clutter.
So, that’s me. More or less.
